In washington, Air Canada would not provide a boarding pass, and made me buy a ticket for $942 USD for 1.5hour flight.

Since being home, I have checked again with both companies, and they both again gave me the same answer. Expedia by phone, air canada at the ticket purchase counter at the airport.

Beware, if your child turns two mid trip, buy him/her a one way ticket home. dont listen to any other answer. I am pursuing it, as I have some pretty concrete proof I was given misinformation.

Anybody else have similar experience?
You really should pursue this not only because it inconvenienced you but both Expedia and Air Canada are absolutely wrong about this. It's not just airline policy but both an FAA and Transport Canada regulations that a child aged 2 and up must have it's own seat.
